Which reinforcement ship is best post update?

ow snap, was wondering why 2 people voted for the phantom, but fully maxed "covert strike" may very well be a gamechanger haha.

Sun Fac is pretty good with a (potential) double stun right out of the gate, and you don't even have to use reinforcement mats to get it.

But yeah Phantom looks amazing.

I fought a guy with the Phantom maxed yesterday. Worked great, BUT the AI called some other ship instead of the Ghost. Still a very good ability.

I think Lando's Millenium Falcon may qualify as a solid "best" option right now. I do love the Phantom II ability when fully maxed, but the LMF brings a lot of potential to the table to not just screw someone over, but do a lot of quick damage.

I'm working on the Phantom pilots and I don't even think I'll bother with Ghost.

Ghost and phantom got me in top 20 in 1.0. I think they will be good with Akbar in 2.0 but have not upgraded Akbar enough to test yet.

Sun Fac is very good as your first reinforcement.

The big problem with reinforcements right now is you will only be assured of using the one with maxed reinforcement mats on offense. The AI may not select your one with the mats.

I ran my team on auto and it picked the same reinforcements in the same order both times, even with differing placement. This is as-advertised. I have Reaper, SF, FOTP, and Scimitar in reinforcements. It picked SF, then Scimitar. I'm going to keep experimenting, but this leads me to believe you might have limited ability to manipulate your reinforcements. It's risky, but if you limit the number of reinforcements, you may be able to drive the AI a little.

It would be interesting to see if the AI automatically picked your reinforcement with the strongest reinforcement abilities first.

Anyone have more data they are willing to share?

It does not. I run a maxed Vader off the bench and I had to drop boba because he jumps the gun.

Me too, I dropped Boba and Sun Fac because I wanted Ghost as my first reinforcement.
